Snow day number 5! January is only about halfway over and at this rate we’ll be in school until July☹ I honestly don’t mind though, I love this gift of an extra day home to binge Netflix and enjoy kitty snuggles. After a few hours of Reign, (please don’t judge me) I decided to put […]

Well 2018 has certainly made an impression so far. It has been FRIGID in Maine for over a week, with temperatures barely above 0, which makes you want to stay snuggled in bed all day and watch Netflix. We’ve also been hit with multiple feet of snow, which you expect being winter in Maine and […]

One of the perks of being a teacher is the time off that we have! The past couple of Aprils, Andrew and I have gone to Europe, but between bachelorette parties, weddings and visits with friends out of state we decided that we didn’t need to go abroad this year *sigh*. I made the best […]

I went to Foulmouthed Brewing tonight to try something that is popping up all over the Greater Portland area, yoga and beer. It had been a LONG week and when a coworker suggested that we try this I was all in. My friends own Foulmouthed, so if I’m going to make a fool out of myself […]

“Later he told me that he’d been afraid to show me the painting. He thought I wouldn’t like the way he portrayed me: dragging myself across the field, fingers clutching dirt, my legs twisted behind.
